The Peaceful Zulus

August 4, 2008, 21:36

Hi everyone!

Well, rather than talk about how there's no stories to read here, lets write us some stories and talk about how nobody else is writing here!

I'm chronicling a game I am in the middle of, playing as the mighty Zulu Empire. I have imposed one big rule on myself though. I can't play to the Zulus' strength, which is being aggressive [email protected][email protected]$.

What do this mean?

1. No declaring war ever. (If attacked I can defend myself and liberate another nations' territory until they ask for peace, at which point I must come to terms)
2. I need a diplomatic, cultural, or space race victory.
3. I have to accept Open borders unless it's an unfair trade.
4. I have to give help.

So there you have it, those are the restrictions I'm giving myself. The map is random, I don't know what's coming.

Oh, since I haven't played much in the past year, the difficulty is set at "settler." (Because my grandma could beat me in my sleep at this game.)

Here we go!:

Shaka: Haha suckas! I made it into this game after all! And all y'all thought that Metaliturtle story about me with the bald chick got me banned from the Civ series!

Other CIV leaders: Stop breaking the fourth wall Shaka!

Shaka: A-hem... Yes, it is with great pride and determination that I start the FUBU er... um... ZULU empire!

People of Zulu: Yeah we gonna kill some tanky mofos!

Shaka: NOOO! Do you realize that people declare war on us just because they know we'll attack them otherwise? In this game we must be more b!tchtastic than Gandhi.

People of Zulu: SNAP!!!

And so Shaka built him a City.
